Bandori 30 Day Challenge: Day 21

Challenge Info

Most relatable character! I think for the most part, I talked about most of the characters I relate to most aka Tsugumi, Aya and Sayo. If you wanna see what I wrote, you can read them in my activities here:

Tsugumi | Aya | Sayo

However, I do relate a lot with a few other characters. They are Arisa, Kaoru, Maya, and Ako! I'll just list how I relate to them here:

Arisa- We've seen that Arisa tends to speak more politely to others she doesn't know well. I've seen some people think she does that to make herself look better or that she's two-faced. But that's...not it. Believe me when I say, I do the exact same thing. When I first meet people I'm not comfortable around, I speak much more politely and I'm a lot quieter. But the minute I'm around someone I know, I do a complete 180. Why? Because I'm afraid of showing my real self to someone I don't know and being rejected because of it. I think it's honestly the same for Arisa. Not that she necessarily has the fear of rejection, but we know she hasn't had much experience talking to others. So to some extent, she could be afraid of saying something wrong, or being looked at differently for being herself. But yeah, I really relate to her and I always feel sad when someone seems to hate her because of this aspect of her personality. It doesn't happen often though, thankfully.

Kaoru- Kinda like how Arisa speaks differently to others she doesn't know, I've heard Kaoru's personality is basically her way of hiding her more shy personality. And for me, this is a HUUUUUUUUGE relate! Like I said above, I behave much differently around people I'm not close to compared to my friends. It's strange really, but when I have to speak normally to people I don't know, I'm quiet. But when I have to present a project in front of people I don't know, I'm...a lot like Kaoru. Very dramatic. It's really weird, but that's just how I am.

Maya- Like Maya, I'm really awkward. I have no idea how to handle myself in social situations or how to start conversations with others. But man, when someone brings up anime or something I know, I just start fangirling and talking non-stop about it. Like this past semester, this kid in the class I worked with was reading PJO and I spent the whole 20 minutes of their break talking about the series with him and another kid It was fun though. That and I tend to not really care about my appearance much, so I never wear make-up or dress nicely, much to the chagrin of my mother. I also have a really peculiar laugh and have been told to shut up by a classmate once...it was a bit hurtful ;w;

Ako- I'm easily amazed by things, just like Ako is, and think so many things are cool or cute. I wanna be cool, although I don't know how to, so I've never really tried, unlike Ako. I tend to be really loud and cheerful around my friends like Ako, which I feel gets kinda annoying at times cuz I'm either always laughing or yelling or being extremely loud ><;
